Executive editor and co-host of “Screen Talk” @indiewire. Garden-variety firecracker. “You know I can’t handle hard news before noon.”

LEVITICUS deserves to be the next summer horror sensation even as audiences still haven't gotten OBSESSION & BACKROOMS out of their systems. My conversation with the director about the risks & rewards of putting a gay genre romance out on 1,000+ screens. https://t.co/ygr6OIdUdq

ROSE OF NEVADA is out in New York this weekend, and I spoke to director Mark Jenkin and George MacKay about the eerie filmmaking devices that make it one of the year's most haunting (and haunted) offerings so far...

@CCassingham @roryjadoherty Thank you both! I was moving too quickly and crossed wires with the book that inspired the original film. I’ve corrected the story.

Nicolas Winding Refn's vile and terminally dull new movie "Her Private Hell" simply died onscreen at last night's #Cannes world premiere. I'll never watch another film of his again... until, of course, I have to for my job.

It turns out Jordan Firstman's directorial debut is very, very good...

My review of THE BRIDE!, a conspicuously DC-coded mess with a blunt statement about female oppression that feels caught in a drain somewhere around MeToo-era 2017, and Jessie Buckley styled like a mental patient escaped from the Hot Topic pop-up at Arkham Asylum.

THIS MOVIE. Hold onto your fucking hat, er, trousers.

Any movie — especially a horror one about queer desire and being literally terrorized by an unrequited love — with Frank Ocean’s “Self Control” on the soundtrack has my heart. LEVITICUS is among the best movies at #Sundance. Anguish, yearning. Have been unwell ever since.

And WICKER, which I came around to liking, a bawdy period sex comedy in which Olivia Colman fucks Alexander Skarsgard, who plays a man made of wood: https://t.co/CUhTmbOLS9

Hi from #Sundance! Sharing some of my reviews here, starting with THE MOMENT, in which Charli XCX asks, "Is that all there is to a brat summer?" with a mostly shallow satirical flex: https://t.co/xiJIg9ILJt

THE GALLERIST, with Natalie Portman, pained me at #Sundance: https://t.co/3FhUndp6Rh

Kicking off a week of EYES WIDE SHUT-centric content at IndieWire in time for the @Criterion release, my interview with DP Larry Smith with memories from Stanley Kubrick’s set — and on the superiority of the new version.

Went long on DIE MY LOVE with Lynne Ramsay who, in her charmingly strong Scottish accent, talked cuts made since Cannes and Scorsese's support, anxiousness around WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN's premiere, and MORVERN CALLAR's unexpected popularity with Gen Z.

@TomiLaffly thank you tomris!!

@NextBestPicture thank you matt!

[Ryan Lattanzio @ryanlattanzio]

Spoke to Rose Byrne and writer/director Mary Bronstein in depth about IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU, one of the best films of the year and one so dread-soaked and Byrne-peak-performance-steeped that you emerge feeling drenched. And eager to see it again.

Kogonada's "A Big Bold Beautiful Journey," which he directs from a lousy and mawkish Black List script, is neither bold nor beautiful, and features a Margot Robbie who is styled like she just came back from a semester abroad in Londontown. My review. https://t.co/QeSNJfAgpv

[Ryan Lattanzio @ryanlattanzio]

Spoke to "Megadoc" director Mike Figgis about his "Megalopolis" making-of documentary, Shia LaBeouf's temperament on set, Francis Ford Coppola's mercurial style, and what Figgis actually thinks about the movie...

#Venice: Kathryn Bigelow's explosively entertaining cautionary tale about the U.S. government's response to a fictional-in-premise-only nuclear attack will ruin your day. You're welcome.
